For the last 6 or 7 years i've been wearing purely Tommy Hilfiger, Yves Saint Lauren and Versace jeans. A month or so ago I wanted some nice cheap tat to wear when working on the car so went off to Tesco. I picked up a pair of Tesco value jeans for £3, and then I pushed the boat out on a pair of F&F for a whopping £6! I've got to say, for the price they're good as gold, and a pretty good fit. So good infact that I went and bought a few more pairs

The cranial void then has to be filled, hence the delluge of 'asking the fecking obvious' questions to allow them to have their own opinions when questioned by less damaged humans.

I've had Levi's, but the pockets went through leaving my change partly in my shoe and partly on the floor 
Never bought them since.
I had some CK, but the top button popped off after about 2 months so they were retired to gardening and car washing duties.
I had some Joe Bloggs that I bought for working in that were 2 pairs for £15. I still work in them after 17 years
The denim has now faded a little, but the pockets still work and the buttons and stitching are intact.
There are more people in society than Chavs, and some on here are clearly cHave's. Blinded into believing the BS that quality cost a lot, when in truth, most quality products are made on the same Far East production lines. I used to work with easily influenced know-nothing teenagers whom blew their whole weeks wage on a cotton shirt, usually with wonky stitching, just 'cos it said Stone Island or whatever on it. They'd usually then wear it out that weekend and it'd end up covered in beer, blood or ripped in a fight
Just use a discerning eye for a bargain, a keen eye for quality and someone elses eye to tell you truthfully if you look good or a **** in them. My latest favourites cost £12 a pair and have a lovely bit of stretch in them. Perfect when you're sat in the car all day teaching

4 pairs regularly worn. One pair of Lee Cooper, 1 Next and 2 Burton... All as good as each other...
Went through a stage of buying Diesel, Sonnetti and YSL but they werent any better and as I am not miggill aged, nor a tosser, I dont tuck my shirts into my pants when wearing jeans, so I couldnt even show off the labels...

Starting with:
What time to set the alarm clock (and associated alarm clock questions, such as which one to buy, what level to set it at for neighbours, analogue or digital, project on ceiling or standard etc etc)
Which side of the bed to get out of, does it matter, will it upset my Feng Shui, should I put on a robe, slippers, or just pad to the bathroom fully naked and wave to the dustbin man
Shower, shave first or coffee, breakfast first?
If showering what products to use and can I sing in the shower.And whilst I am in the shower, can I talk about various settings for the showerhead.
etc etc etc etc
Lets see if NSR can take the strain

Most of my jeans are GAP... loose fit boot cut.
I grab them in NY every month- usually on sale for like $20 or something. Have yet to find a pair that fit better.
edit- oooh 2,999 posts. Scary

Old Australian joke:
Q: How do you get a pom out of the shower?
A: Turn the taps on.
Your jeans will be covered in **** by now. Eeeww.

I think the origin of denim is De Nemes - translated to from Nemes (a city on France) (sorry if the speeking is wrong)
theywere famous for there textiles and produced a fabric new to the industry in teh 19th century
...then they sold all the best stuff to ASDA - for manufacture into the best jeans available and then sold posh looking labels to Gap and other flouncy gay manufacturers to sell their nasty rip-offs to people with more money than sense
<I read that last bit in wikipedia>

and for the bonus question...
Levi's used to make a jean and like many they made, this one used to have rivets at all the major cross points. Unfortunately after a few certain incidents, one particular rivet was dropped...
anyone hazard a guess which one and why ??

I bought a pair of those jeans about 4 years ago, they still fit me, though a bit worn. One of the best pair of jeans i have ever bought. Think they were £60 at the time.

a) You will get some form of urine deposited on your jeans every time you use a urinal, even if its only in aerosol form.
b) Sweat, bodily fluids etc will penetrate your underwear and leech into the fabric of your jeans.
That build up over twelve months = hygiene hazard.

Recently got nice jeans made by Volcom and Full Circle.
A bit different and nicely cut and around £60-70.
"High street" designer names (Armani, CK etc) are more chav than Asda.

And why the fk is everything "chav" all of a sudden. FFS, you can't do/buy anything, without someone saying that.
